Just like Apple too, who also released an email privacy service, thread here: [1] But comparing that thread with this one, people seem oddly more skeptical of DDG than they are with Apple

Also, friendly reminder that Safari collects your browsing history and admits so in their TOS [2]. Whereas DDG merely has access, but says they do not collect anything

Email is inherently insecure, I don't see how this is worse.

“Email is not encrypted” and “all of your emails are relayed to another system” are largely different things with different threat models (I trust DDG as much as one can in this sort of system)

It facilitates bulk data collection at a single point.

Ok, stop using email. Period. What’s your point exactly?
